Hemel Hempstead’s Water Mill House care home welcomed a well-known TV personality to switch on its Christmas lights last week.

Presenter Fiona Phillips – well known for her stint on long-running breakfast show GMTV and for appearing on the third series of Strictly Come Dancing – is a regular visitor and keen supporter of the Rose Lane facility.
